America and Japan have also been experiencing severe cold and snowfall for several weeks.
In the last week of December 2022, there were reports that more than 50 people died due to heavy snowfall in America.
In addition, traffic, air travel and electricity systems were disrupted.
According to AFP, Byron Brown, the mayor of Buffalo, the second largest city in the state of New York, said that the blizzard of 2022 will be talked about not only today, but for generations. This storm has surpassed the historic blizzard of 1977 in intensity.
Officials said that rescue workers recovered bodies from under vehicles and snowdrifts in the snow-hit Buffalo area.
In late December alone, snow in northern Japan stranded hundreds of vehicles on roads, disrupting the delivery system, and killing 11 people.
The Fire and Disaster Management Agency later said that the death toll rose to 17 and 93 people were injured. Many of them fell to their deaths while removing snow from the roofs or were buried under the snow falling from the roofs.
